#booklet

15 books? And the world is ending? You might as well just tell me that some much-needed reading glasses are broken 😜 @RaeLovesToRead (actual pic of me avoiding this dire thought) #ihavequestions #belovedbooks

Here‘s my list (with commentary!):
1. The Hobbit (⬆️THIS copy and yes I‘ll be mad if it gets scuffed or dinged)
2. The Complete Ivory - Egan (hey, series is contained into one book!)
3. Magic Strikes (the BEST Kate Daniels. Fight me.)
⬇️

Larkken 4. Starless Sea (good thing for the apocalypse that my MIL just gave me this)
5. Beauty - Robin McKinley (though maybe Blue Sword instead for the sheer nostalgia? gah)
6. The Wood Wife - Windling
7. Pride and Prejudice
8. Stardust - Gaiman
9. The Princess Bride - Goldman
10. Kushiel‘s Dart. No, wait, Avatar. Gah!
11. Complete Borges short stories (so I can dream of infinite libraries or something 👀)
12. Good Omens
(edited) 12mo
Larkken 13. Family‘s illustrated Alice and Wonderland
14. Finishing School trilogy by Carriger on audio (when breaking the rules, go big)
15. Moon Called - Briggs (I don‘t have a fav from this series, so this might end up being Whatever One I Grab from series)
Holy nuts I‘d give both my ovaries to have a compilation of the initial Murderbot stories to put on here. Sorry, Pride and Prejudice. Or maybe Good Omens?

I am still working on the #booklet list…

RaeLovesToRead Love it! Starless sea has come up a few times... I shall purchase it next time I'm in Waterstones! 😁 (Although I still need to read The Night Circus!) I found the booket list easier because there are several books that I ABSOLUTELY NEED TO READ and they just pushed their way to the top.. 😊 12mo

Larkken @RaeLovesToRead This was curtailed severely by needing to be physical books present on my shelves! That made it easier lol 12mo
IndoorDame Ooh, yes! I should definitely take Alice 12mo
5feet.of.fury So far for best Kate Daniels (I‘m on book 7) I‘m going with 12mo
5feet.of.fury Also Kate Daniels series has made me want to read the Princess Bride, but I have not yet. Love your Gaiman choices! Great list! 12mo
Larkken @5feet.of.fury oooh is this the one where they FINALLY got together? Agreed, that IS nice 12mo
Larkken @IndoorDame looking at my shelves made me realize I‘d have to bring at least a/some books based on nostalgia and unwillingness to lose a family copy ❤️! …and not just on what I‘d want to reread…and reread…lol (edited) 12mo

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This is a very short but convicting read. It‘s also incredibly timely (purposely so, I believe). This has been an election year like none other with even the Christian church funding itself torn apart in places by butter politics. I‘m sad this book is necessary, but grateful someone had the courage and compassion to speak the truth. I recommend this book.

A Defence of Calvinism | Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Finished my first piece of Victorian writing for #Victober. The Prince of Preachers explains theology in easy to understand wording. This is a small booklet, yet holds so much. Look up Charles Spurgeon and read a few of his nuggets of wisdom!

At 2.30 am I woke and couldn‘t get back to sleep. Remembered this advice and elected to take it. Looked up 1 1/2 hours later and I was still not sleepy. Full day of work ahead. I‘m a fool of a Took. SEND HELP I AM DECEASED 😩😩😩

pppooraikul A fool of a Took usually turns out to be doing things right anyway. Wish you a lucky day! 😉😁 6y

1. A little bit of work, but hopefully lots of rest. Maybe some mountain biking, definitely some reading.
2. Teacher workweek is exhausting.
3. San Diego
4. Neither, I‘m not at all a pet person, but if I absolutely had to pick one, a sloth.
5. Only 87° today!

In my bed looking at my bookcase with all my beautiful books but I am too tired to read. I actually peopled last night and went to a concert. I spent the night with my sister and her two new adorable kittens. Well they aren‘t so adorable when they ran and played all night long 🤣🤣 I barely got any sleep so nap time is in order. Also hate the time change. Day goes by too fast.

tpixie I want your bedspread/ quilt!! 6y
Tanisha_A That quilt is pretty! 6y
Cfbriggs1 My two cats once set off our motion alarm (that wasn‘t supposed to pick up anything under 50 lbs) when we were 6 states away at a friend‘s wedding. I was freaking out thinking someone had broken i to our house 😂. I totally sympathize with the whole not being able to sleep while cats are running around thing. 6y

Susanita My cat was such a little pest when he was a kitten! And those tiny needle claws! 6y
wanderlustforwords I love that you said “peopled”! I‘ve seen a shirt that says, “its to peoply outside”. 🤣 6y
tracey38 I'm also in bed today just exhausted because I had to *people* yesterday while hosting my sister's baby shower. I feel ya! I want to read but don't think I have the energy to focus my eyes on the page, lol. 6y
ReadingSusan @tpixie @Tanisha_A thanks! It‘s my favorite blanket. It‘s so warm. And when my little white kitty is on it she looks so pretty 🤣 (edited) 6y
ReadingSusan @Cfbriggs1 omg ha ha. That‘s so funny. 6y
ReadingSusan @tracey38 yeah I only got out out of bed to go get food 🤣 6y
ReadingSusan @Susanita ha ha yes! They are so sharp especially when galloping over your face in the night 🤣 6y
Zelma Oh yes, I remember kitten antics well. Every time we get a new kitten we quickly remember the middle of the night playing, sharp claws, getting in trouble... and swear we‘ll never get another one. 😂 6y
ReadingSusan @Zelma ha ha oh yes! I have been dying for a third cat and now I am like nah I am good 🤣 6y
Zelma @ReadingSusan 😂 I swore no more kittens after Skippy and then we got Toby a year later. 🙄 decided three cats were enough and now we have a dog. 🙄🙄😂😍 6y
ReadingSusan @Zelma ha ha! It‘s hard to say no. We have two cats and a dog and the dog is ten times more difficult than two cats. 6y
Suet624 That socializing thing is exhausting enough. 6y
